I'm not religious, but if I was, I'd be in the "Strongly agree" category. It's the only one that makes sense, no? Who would believe in their religion 100% but think that other religions are also fine? It's like saying you believe in science but astrology is also acceptable.

    I don't think most religions don't really argue about other people's faith to much. Christianity has the parable of the good Samaritan, for instance.

    Also early Islam was really tolerant of people of other faith. The problem arises mainly when faith gets incorporated in nationalism. You see that in the data too, countries that have religion tied to the national ideal are most intolerant.

    Why would it not be acceptable to let others believe in different things than you do? Just because you believe in something and are convinced what the other person believes in is wrong, that doesnt mean you cant accept them believing in it.

    Believing in two religions is not the same as accepting that other people believe in other religions. I dont understands whats so confising about this...

    Accepting that they believe in a religion is a slight difference in wording there. It's not hard to understand. Bangladesh gets it.

    I believe in religion X. Religion X has a magic guy in charge who dictates all acceptable behaviour. He literally defines unacceptable behaviour. Some people believe religion Y. Religion Y dictates different behaviour. Unacceptable. Religion Y is UNACCEPTABLE

    You have literally no idea how religions work and are talking out of your ass based on your prejudices. Good job making a fool of yourself.

    Theyre all hypothetical.

    But yeah, tolerance is a virtue. Unless someone's intolerant, we can't tolerate that.

    I'm not being funny. Intolerance is the exception and needs to be shamed and destroyed.

    Anyway ultimately, understanding someone's wrong but giving them their due when it comes to free will is mostly nonsecular jam. Thats where most derive meaning.

    And I'm not even secular jelly about that.

    More simply. If youre taking a test, focus on your own paper. If youre peeking around and someone's wrong, its their lesson not yours. And you might be fuckin wrong.

    Ok good luck and godspeed.

    Unless someone’s intolerant, we can’t tolerate that

    That and the Dutch.

    That paradox is on display in this thread! People are telling me my beliefs would be wrong because my beliefs are that other people's beliefs are wrong and you're not allowed to believe that other people's beliefs are wrong. But what if I only believe their beliefs are wrong because their beliefs discount other beliefs?

    So much easier to ignore the whole lot of it and let people do what they want. I should probably stop replying in this thread now ha. Thanks for the friendly message. Peace!

    I totally get where youre coming from.

    Thats also not really a rebuttal or good faith reply.

    But as youre tired, I reiterate its an emotionally responsible move.

    Hahaha charitable to call me friendly, youre friendly yourself.

    Sweet dreams

    Not every religious person is 100% religious. How can you be 100% sure something like a god (or gods) doesn't exist? How would you know? In the grand scheme of things, you are nigh imperceptible. Whether you live or die, are happy or sad, might not matter in the slightest. There are more galaxies than there are grains of sand on this planet.

    Claiming to know a god doesn't exist is as laughable as claiming a god does exist. Accepting that one doesn't know everything is not a sign of weakness, lack of belief, or mental fortitude, it's a realistic way of approaching the world.
